Two New Video/DVD Recommendations!

[Holmes]

Hey

peeps,

Just wanted to recommend two amazing movies--just out on video/DVD--to anyone interested in more

artistic/indie films. Both of \'em totally kicked my a$$.

Everyone probably knows about Better Luck

Tomorrow by now, the story of a group of super-overachieving high school kids who, bored to tears by the

lack of challenge in their lives, take a plunge into hardcore criminal activity. Killin\'.

Even more

interesting is Charlotte Sometimes, a great character study of the \"Nice Guy\" type often

mentioned here on the Forum, and what happens to him when he gets caught up in what becomes one mother of a

love triangle. It\'s a prime--but odd-- example of how LJBF territory can really complicate your life. Eric Byler

(the writer/director of the film) is a genius, IMHO.

These two titles are different as night and day in scope and

execution, but both are highly, highly recommended to anyone who loves fresh, creative, engaging movies.

Check \'em out if you have a chance!

Thanks Holmes. I am always looking for a good movie to rent. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My

pleasure. Just so anyone knows to expect: BLT gets a bit violent. And the ending leaves many ?s

unanswered. Also features John Cho (the \"MILF guy\" from the American Pie movies) and Parry Shen (from

The New Guy).

CS, OTOH, is a verrrry subtle relationship movie about keeping secrets

and withholding true feelings and desires. Minimal dialogue, but quite powerful.
